Fish Sandwich With Chili Lime Dressing Recipes

FISH SANDWICH

Steps:

• Begin by gathering and prepping all of the fish sandwich ingredients according to the ingredients list above to have organized and ready for use.
• To prepare your fish, place the cod fillets into a large bowl and add in a couple of good pinches of salt and pepper, plus the paprika, granulated garlic and onion, cayenne, lemon zest and juice, and toss to coat the fish. Marinate for 10-20 minutes.
• While the fish marinates, gather and prep all of your spicy slaw ingredients according to the ingredients list above to have organized and ready for use.
• To prepare the spicy slaw dressing, in a bowl combine the mayo, garlic, sea salt (about ¼ teaspoon), a couple of pinches of black pepper, the dill, cayenne, mustard and pickle juice, and whisk to blend and thoroughly combine. Reserve 1/2 cup of this dressing to spread on the buns before assembling the sandwiches.
• Place the coleslaw mix-the shredded cabbages and carrots-into a large bowl, and add as much of the slaw dressing to the mix as desired (you may end up using all of it), thoroughly mixing the dressing into the slaw to combine. Keep cold in the fridge until ready to use.
• To bread your fish fillets, prepare your breading station by adding the flour to a medium-large bowl, next add the eggs into another bowl and whisk to blend, then add the panko to another medium-large bowl, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper (even cayenne, if desired).
• Dip each cod fillet into the flour, next into the whisked eggs, followed by a firm press into the panko breadcrumbs until well-coated. Place the breaded fillets onto a plate or platter. Repeat with remaining fillets.
• Once all are coated, heat enough peanut oil (or other high-heat oil) in a cast iron skillet or heavy bottom skillet to shallow fry (about an 1" worth), and slowly heat the oil until shimmery and hot. Add the fish fillets (working in batches of two, if necessary) into the hot oil, and fry for 3-4 minutes per side, until cooked through and deeply golden-brown. Drain on a paper towel-lined wire rack. Repeat with any remaining fish fillets.
• To assemble your fish sandwiches, spread a small amount of the reserved slaw dressing/sauce onto both top and bottom buns, then add a few pickle slices (or pickle "chips") to the bottom bun. Now place a fried fish fillet over the pickles, top with a generous amount of spicy slaw, and cover with the top bun.
• Serve hot with fries or thick-cut potato chips.
